427255 ÷ 3 
We want to divide 427255 by 3.

Moving on to step 1:
3 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 3 from 4 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
The number 3 fits into 12 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 12 from 12.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
7 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 142.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 3

Step 4:
If we divide 12 by 3, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1424.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 12 from 12.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 5 / 3

Step 5:
The number 3 fits into 5 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14241.0
Deduct 3 from 5 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
3 can be fit into 25 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142418.0
Subtracting 24 from 25 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142418.3
Deduct 9 from 10 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142418.33
Subtract 9 from 10 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Our division results in 142418.33 with a remaining 0.001.
